This process has the advantage over chemical vapor deposition in that it allows for the use of a lower temperature, and unlike liquid-phase epitaxy it easily allows for the manufacturing of thin films, since its deposition rate is about one monolayer per second. For ten points, identify this technique in which evaporated metals in an ultra-high vacuum environment are directed, together with dopants, onto a substrate.
